And we have people that go above the norm. Thank you Mary for the sweet gift! She brought this adorable vase from home to leave us these beautiful wildflowers, accompanied by a nice note! 🤩🥰😊 Thank you!!

Hello fans! The park is open for the Grampus Lake portion. Our Handsome Pond trail has extensive damage and is still closed. The timeline to finish repairs is not clear so we do not have a proposed opening date just yet. Our docks are still under water so the boat rides continue to be suspended. People are free to launch their kayaks and canoes between the two boat docks. We will continue to provide updates. Thank you for your support!

A huge THANK YOU to our crew for assessing and repairing the damage around the park! We will be opening back up Friday, July 12th, however our Handsome Pond trail is in rough shape and will be closed. The boat rides are also suspended for the time being as our docks are under water!
